Please add orienteering as a sport

I don't know if I'm posting this the wrong place, if so could someone direct me to the correct subforum?
It affects functions I have on my Fenix 3 (VO2MAX), but the addition of the sport would be on a more general scale, so thought this would be the appropriate place.

It's kind of annoying that orienteering isn't included as a sport. As a result i use Trail Running, but it seems that as a result the VO2MAX is skewed. Running orienteering is in general much harder that trail running since you run off the trail directly in the woods. Scrambling over marshes, through thick underbrush and up and down cliffs doesn't really compare to normal trail running. Even running on really technical trail runs are in general easier than orienteering. Just imagine going to the woods and then try run in an approximate straight line and see if that's harder.

In general the orienteering community seems to be Garmin fans as well, so I think I'm not the only one wishing we had this option.
